Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-

For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily check:
•
inspect blades for damage or wear.
• Check for loose mounting bolts/arbor nut.
• Check cords, plugs, and switch for damage.
• any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
• vacuum dust buildup from inside the cabinet
and off of the motor after use.
• Wipe the table clean after every use—this
ensures moisture from wood dust does not
remain on bare metal surfaces.
• verify that the anti-kickback pawls return to
their bottom-most position after pivoting.
• verify that the spreader/riving knife is aligned
with the blade (refer to
page 73 to perform a
quick check.)

Schedule
Cleaning the model g0651/g0652 is relatively
easy. vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust,
and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.
if any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving
cleaner to remove it. treat all unpainted cast iron
and steel with a non-staining lubricant after clean-
ing.
occasionally it will become necessary to clean
the internal parts with more than a vacuum. to do
this, remove the table top and clean the internal
parts with resin/pitch dissolver or mineral spirits
and a stiff wire brush or steel wool. do not use
Water—Water Will Cause Cast iron to
rust.
make sure the internal workings are dry before
using the saw again, so that wood dust will not
accumulate. if any essential lubrication is removed
during cleaning, re-lubricate those areas.
cleaning
protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
table by wiping the table clean after every use—
this ensures moisture from wood dust does not
remain on bare metal surfaces.
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of
products like g96
® gun treatment, slipit ® , or
Boeshield ® t-9 (see Section 5: Accessories on
page 63 for more details).
